Practicing New Skill
#1 The beginning of good reading lies in
good speaking. If you will aim at good, clear articulation in
your speech, you will help yourself more than you know,
and to imagine that you can become a good reader while
you remain a careless, slovenly speaker is absurd. It has
been pointed out by some critics that if the writer aims
always at speaking as well as he can, and at expressing
himself in ordinary conversation as well as he can, the
practice of selecting the finer sounds, phrases, and
expressions becomes almost subconscious, and he reaps
his harvest when he sits down to write.

The Top 9 Characteristics of Effective Public Speakers
by Peter Khoury

Public speaking can be terrifying, but when you care about


your career progression you need to find a way to get your
voice out.
Public speaking is how you can share your ideas with a
large number of people, stand out from the corporate
crowd, and get visibility in your field.
Unfortunately, if you’re public speaking skills are not up to
par, it’s likely that no one will be focused enough on your
presentation to really receive your message.
Here are 9 scientifically-proven characteristics of effective
public speakers that you should emulate to become an
influential and inspiring leader.

Confidence
According to a study published by the University of
Wolverhampton “A highly confident speaker is viewed as
being more accurate, competent, credible, intelligent,
knowledgeable, likable, and believable than the less
confident uncertain speaker.”
When it comes to public speaking, confidence is key (not
the only key mind you). When speaking in public, it’s only
natural to be nervous. In fact, Mark Twain once said,
“There are only two types of speakers in the world. 1. The
nervous and 2. The Liars.”
There are two main antidotes for anxiety
Excitement – If you’re truly excited about your subject, that
feeling will shine through any nervousness you may have
while you are giving your presentation. Studies show that
people who label their anxiety as excitement end up
feeling more comfortable speaking.
Authenticity – Be yourself. If you have to deviate a little
from your meticulously written presentation, do so!
Although you should practice your speech as often as
possible, you don’t want to memorize it! Memorizing a
speech can cause you to fumble over a section if you didn’t
say it just right.
To excel at public speaking you must do more than just
defeat your nervous jitters. You must also have confidence
in your subject and be yourself while you are on stage.
Passion
In order to really communicate to people through speech,
you need to have passion about your subject. Without
passion, your speech is meaningless. You need to exude
a level of sincerity in your emotion when communicating to
your audience if you want them to be moved by your
presentation.
Be Yourself
You don’t have to be someone else on stage, all you have
to do is just be yourself. Sometimes, no matter how much
you believe in your message or how well you’ve

14
rehearsed, if you don’t act like yourself in front of the
group, your audience may view your speech as insincere
or calculated.
If a political candidate doesn’t seem authentic, it’s not likely
they’ll win an election. If a company’s social marketing
strategy appears inauthentic, their sales will not go up. If
you create a page on a dating website but what you write
is not authentic, the people reading are likely to pick up on
this inauthenticity and never contact you. Speaking is the
same way.
Practice, not memorization – In order to ‘be yourself’ in a
presentation, you shouldn’t memorize your speech in
absolutes. Practice your speech as often as possible, but
be willing to change up the wording. This makes it easier
to change it up during the actual presentation if things
aren’t going exactly as planned. Memorization can set up
a barrier between you and your audience.
Speak in a natural voice – any connection you’ve made
with your audience could be broken by tones that seem
‘fake’ or ‘too perfect’. In general, you should try to speak in
a conversational tone. If you say few “ahhs” and “umms”
that’s ok, don’t sweat it.
Voice Modulations
If you want to be more engaging as a speaker, then avoid
talking in a tone that seems too well rehearsed, but you
still want to take the speed and inflection of your delivery
into account when you practice your speech.
Keep it Short and Sweet
If you’re only given 30 minutes to give a speech, don’t
force yourself to fill the entire time allotted. Say what you
need to say and use any remaining time for questions or
to let your audience out a little early.
While you’re speaking people are likely on their phones,
tablets, or laptops, reading emails, surfing the web,
researching who you are, or maybe taking notes on your
speech. It’s your job to make them put their devices down
and pay attention to what you have to say.
You can’t ask them to turn off their phones, but you can
make them set their phones down by creating an
atmosphere that excites and engages the listeners.
The best ways to connect with your audience are;
• Tell stories
• Be aware of your target audience
• Know the energy in the room
• Be Willing to poke fun at yourself
• Work on your non-verbal body language
Paint a Picture Through Storytelling
One of the best ways to really engage your audience is by
becoming a good storyteller. This aspect of public
speaking is so important I didn’t want it to simply be a bullet
point in the ‘Connect with your Audience’ section.
Storytelling is a powerful tool used by the best speakers.
By employing context into your speech for your audience
to connect with, you’re creating an easy to listen to the
atmosphere in which you are not simply shoving

15
information at them in the hopes that they’ll retain that
information.
The story is the most digestible, understood, and easy to
retell communication medium in the world. A story is what
really sticks in a listener’s mind.
When writing your speech, think about what you need to
say in order to establish a context that your audience will
understand and be able to engage with.
Repetition
Repetition can help ensure your audience takes the main
points away from your presentation. It promotes clarity and
helps to encourage acceptance of an idea.
In order to employ repetition in your presentations,
determine what you want your audience to take away from
your speech. Say it. Say it again. And then say it a third
time just in case anyone missed it the first couple of times.
Don’t Just Practice, Practice, Practice
Have you ever heard someone say that they want to seem
authentic on stage, so they didn’t practice their speech?
Although it may seem contradictory, the more you practice
a presentation, the more spontaneous it will actually
sound!
Of course, you have to practice it the right way though.
Take into account your environment when you practice
and always practice as if you’re giving your presentation to
a group of people. Speeding through your presentation on
the bus in a hushed voice is more likely to hurt you than
help you.
Practicing will help to make you feel more confident, and
appear more authentic, thus creating a better opportunity
to connect with your audience. Which, in the end, is the
ultimate goal of public speaking.
Conclusion
In summary, the best way to give an inspiring presentation
is by having a message that you believe in that the
audience can connect to. The connection between you
and the audience is what allows them to truly listen to your
message and be inspired.
It takes a lot of practice and experience to become a
powerful public speaker, and by emulating the mentioned
characteristics of effective public speakers you can
become more inspiring and more influential.

e. Evaluating
learning  Given the story, what graphic organizer will you
use to easily understand the story?

Orpheus, the son of Apollo and Calliope, was a


gifted musician. He played his lyre beautifully as no
creature could resist his music and melody, neither his
friends nor enemies and beasts. Orpheus fell in love with
Eurydice, a woman of unique beauty. They lived happily
for many years until one day came when Eurydice died
after she was bitten by a snake. Orpheus became very
sad that even in his music showed how lonely his life
was. Orpheus decided to rescue his wife Eurydice by
going down to the underworld. Hades and Persephone
felt the sadness of Orpheus and so they let him get
Eurydice back for a condition that Eurydice would follow
him and that he should not look back until they reach the
upperworld. Orpheus failed and so Eurydice
disappeared.

Questions:
1. What was the condition given to Orpheus?
(Suggested Answer: Orpheus was given a condition
that Eurydice would follow him and that he should
not look back.)
2. What do you think is the reason why Orpheus failed
to bring Eurydice back to the upperworld?
(Suggested Answer: Orpheus did not fulfill his
promise. He looked back to see if Eurydice was
following him.)
3. How did you come up with your answer?
(Answers may vary)
4. How does the organizer help you to understand the
text?
(Suggested Answer: The organizer helps to
understand the details of the story. It shows the
logical arrangement of events.)

had to face in order to realize his/her
goal/dream, wish
So… refers to the character’s action to solve the
conflict. This
may also include the ending of the story.
There are stories, however, that are not suitable to this
strategy
Somebody Odin, the All-Father was in Asgard
overlooking all the three parts of the
world. His throne was so high and on
his head was a helmet shaped like an
eagle. The two ravens on his shoulder
and the two wolves at his feet.
Wanted He gazed down on the earth and saw
all his creations and he feared that any
moment his enemies would shook in
anger these that he made. He ought to
know more about them and to have
more wisdom.
But Beside the well where he could see
things that had happened and things
that were going to happen, sat Mimir.
He could not give a drink from the well
to anybody who wished for it, unless he
would give a great sacrifice.
So Odin plucked out one of his blue eyes.
He had seen sorrow and death as well
as joy. And it was only the glorious
promise at the end that gave him the
courage to go on.

stories?

Concept Note:
(May also be given as a short lecture/discussion or any
suitable strategy)

Characters is one of the elements of fiction (novels,


drama and stories including myths, fables, short stories).
Fiction writers create their characters using not only their
playful thoughts but also their own experiences and
observations of real people. This artistic
technique of giving life to the characters in their stories is
termed as characterization. To engage their readers’
imagination, the writers can reveal the personality of their
characters though any or all of the following “six secrets”:
1. what the characters think, feel, dreams of and
aspire for
2. what the character do and how they react to stimuli
3. how the characters look
4. what the characters say and how they say it.
5. what the other characters tell about them
6. how the author/narrator directly describe them.

skills #1 Also, the rubric is presented.

CONCEPT NOTE:

A Panel Discussion is a form of group speaking where


the panel express their opinion, observation about the
issue at hand.
It is often used to delve into politics, issues affecting
communities and academic topics.
It involves a group of people gathered to discuss a topic in
front of the audience-there are the panelists and the
moderator.

How to Conduct a Panel Discussion

1. Putting a panel together


a-Choose a moderator who has the ability to control the
event.

b-Choose four or five panelists only. Too many panelists


will negatively affect timing and the liveliness of the
discussion.

c-The moderator and organizers should develop a list of 4-


6 pre-event interview questions to the panelists.

d- The moderator then, develop a final list of questions for


the actual event, based on the interview.

2. Planning the panel discussion

a- Don’t put the panelists behind a table.


b- The best set up is panelists in a slight semi-circle
comfortable chairs

148
c- Only put enough seats for the expected attendees so
they sit close to the front and the interactions are better.
d- Have a good microphone system.
e- Have the perfect timing.
Panel discussion must not be more than 40 minutes
leaving the 20 minutes for audience
questions/participation.

3. Moderating a panel discussion

a. The moderator must be very active at all times, keeps


things moving and prevents any one panelist or audience
member from taking over.
b. He does the introduction of the panelists.
c. He asks questions, calling on 1-2 panelist for each
question in a way that elicits those interesting stories and
opinions.
d. Give a couple of audience members a chance to
participate.

Ref:
http://www.google.com/amp/s/m.wikihow.com/Conduct-a-
panel-discussion%3famp=1

After the discussion solicit questions from the students. Let


them formulate questions about panel discussion.
Encourage clarifications from them.
E. Discussing new

Concepts and Read the sentences below and study the underlined
Practicing New Skills words and the given meaning.
#2

1. Throughout high school I chose to ignore my


Filipino side.
IGNORE – to refuse to show that you see or you
hear something.

2. The most important thing for me was to fit in –


wear the latest clothes, listen to the coolest music,
speak the slang spoken between friends.
FIT-IN –to be in a group.

3. If anyone asked me my ethnic background, I


emphasized that I was half-white, leaving out that I
was half-Filipino.
EMPHASIZED – being stressed or pointed out.

4. Since I came to college I have been exploring the


Filipino culture. This is a step toward true recognition
of my Filipino identity.
RECOGNITION- the act of accepting that something
or someone is true or important.

5. My Filipino heritage has been waiting to be


explored further.
EXPLORED – the act of looking at something in a
careful way.

6. This process of integration bridges the two


identities that make who I am.
INTEGRATION – the process of finding a function
whose differential is unknown.

Questions:

words in sentences 1-3 and the words in sentences
4-6?

155
2. Were the format of the definitions the same?
3. Do you know what type of definitions are used?

CONCEPT NOTE:
The two types of definitions that are commonly used
are:
1. INFORMAL – connotation
- uses one’s own idea or experience
which can be associated to
the word.
- usually a synonym or antonym or
a short phrase written in
parentheses.
Example:
The organization of parents has a communal (shared
by members of the group) garden which support the
program of a Green School.

2. FORMAL – denotation
- direct, literal meaning of the word is
provided.
- dictionary meaning
- has three (3) parts:
a. the term being defined;
b. the class to which the word belongs;
c. the differentia or feature that distinguish the term
from other words.

Example:
The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the
body.

“ShouldaWould Coulda”
Beverly Knight

People say that together we were both sides of the


same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a dear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn’t allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were


dear to me
Every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
Too late to realize how far apart we`d grow
How I wish I,wish I`d done a little bit more

Now “shouldawouldacoulda”are the last word s of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others


dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their
lows
And in my life there`s a love I put aside, cause I was
busy loving someone else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you’ve got to let
something else go

(Chorus)

Fool it I would now forsake the opportunities are fate


I know I`m right where I belong
But sometimes when I’m not so strong I…

Assessment 3) As we get older and when we think about our past
we sometimes ponder the things that we (shall/should)
have done. And we also may regret those things we did
badly and the mistakes we made. In reality,
we can always learn from our mistakes and hope to
never make them again. For example, if I failed a test
because of a lack of study, the next test
I (will/shall) hope to pass because of hard work.
Remember too that some regrets are not based in reality
and we may waste time thinking that they are.
(Will/ Would ) I have really not have been involved in a
car crash if I had been driving more slowly? After all, the

APPENDIX B.1: Week 1, Day 2

To run her business and talk to people, Gilda uses her hands — either through
pen and paper or Filipino Sign Language. The definition of a successful Deaf
Entrepreneur, she runs a travel and tour business called Nakahara Lodging and Travel
Agency. Catering to those like her, it's primarily a travel service for deaf people around
the world, though they also provide services for hearing people.
Drawing inspiration from foreign deaf friends, she and her fellow deaf Pinoys met in
tourist spots, and she decided to set up her own business starting in 2004. A travel
agency like any other, she's known for her reliable arrangements and service which
she describes has "age-old" Filipino hospitality.
Pushing through discrimination and barriers, she managed to learn the ins and
outs of booking flights, accommodations, and tour management.
In 2007, she was recognized at the Go Negosyo Caravan for People with Disabilities
in De Salle –College of St. Benilde. But, as she said in her interview with Manila
Bulletin, representing the fellow deaf is its own reward.
“As a deaf person in this kind of business, I am proud to say that I have crossed
the border of so-called limited access. I honestly worked hard to achieve my goals. I
wanted to show the world that we are not cut off from mainstream society and we are
capable of regularly doing and keeping our jobs like the rest of hearing and speaking
people.”
Aside from all of this, Gilda has helped establish a deaf organization in her
province of Eastern Samar.
It's not huge acts that make someone inspirational. It's the daily effort to better
yourself in whatever situation you find yourself in. These three Filipinos are an
inspiration not just to PWDs, but to the rest of us as well.

That was the last time Perseus ever used the horrible head. He gave it
most willingly to Athene, who kept it ever after.

Now that Polydectes was dead, Danae yearned to go home again and
be reconciled to her father. So Perseus made the fisherman Dictys king of the
island and sailed with his mother and Andromeda to Greece.

But it happened that when they came to Argos, King Acrisius was away
from home. Games were being held in Larissa, and Perseus, hearing of them
decided to go there and take part. And there at the game it was that the oracle
which Acrisius had received at Delphi was strangely fulfilled. For when it came
to Perseus’ turn to throw the discus, he threw it so that it swerved to one side.
It landed among the spectators and killed an old man. That old man was King
Acrisius, who had gone to such cruel lengths to avoid the fate which the gods
had ordained.

HOW THOR GETS HIS HAMMER BACK

1 Thor wakes up one morning to find that all is not right with the world. His
magical hammer, Mjolnir, is missing.
2 Convinced that theft is just one of Loki’s usual pranks, he finds the trickster
god and demands to know where his hammer is.
3 Loki insists he didn’t take Thor’s hammer. He’s pretty sure he knows who did,
though, and has a plan.
4 Thor asks Freyja if Loki can borrow her ride. It’s magical feather dress that
gives the wearer the wings of a bird. With some interesting whining noises.
Loki departs for Jotunheim, the land of the giants.
5 In Jotunhaim, Loki finds the frost giant, Thrym sitting on a mound, braiding
golden leashes for his dogs and stroking the manes of his horses in a creepy
sort of way.
6 When Loki tells Thrym that Thor’s hammer is missing, the giant admits to
hiding it eight miles below the earth. In exchange for returning the hammer,
Thrym explains, he wants Freyja, the most beautiful goddess in Asgard for his
wife.
7 Loki flies back to Asgard and breaks the bad news to Thor.
8 Right away, Thor insists on finding Freyja. He tells her to put on a wedding
dress. She’s got to marry Thrym.
9 Freyja is totally offended that Thor would even suggest such a thing.
10 All the gods hold a council to discuss how they’re going to get Thor’s hammer
back.
11 The watchman god Heimdall, suggests that Thor put on a wedding dress,
some gemstones, Freyjas special necklace and some keys. In other words,
Thor should dress up like Freyja and travel to Jotunheim to get his hammer
back himself.
12 Loki decides to go with Thor to Jotunheim as a bridesmaid.
13 When Thrym sees them coming, he instructs his servants to deck the halls for
Fretja’s on her way to marry him.
14 In the wedding feast, Thor eats an entire ox, eight salmon, three barrels of
meat and the entire wedding cake.
15 Loki excuses the “bride’s” monstrous appetite to Thrym explaining that she
was so excited about her marriage to him that she fasted for eight days in a
row.
16 Eager to kiss his bride, Thrym lifts her veil and immediately leaps back in
horror. His bride’s eyes are fiery red.
17 Loki explains that she was so excited about her marriage to him that she
hasn’t slept for eight days in a row.
18 Thrym’s sister appears in front of “Freyja” demanding the bridal fee. She tells
Freyja to take the rings off her fingers.
19 Now, its time for Thrym to fulfill his side of bargain. He instructs his servants
to bring in Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and lay it in the bride’s lap to bless her.
20 Thor’s heart leaps in his chest when he sees his hammer. Immediately picking
it up, he kills the giant’s entire household.

6 But all sorts of things and weather
7 Must be taken in together
8 To make a year,
9 And a sphere4.
10 And I think it no disgrace5
11 To occupy my place.
12 If I am not so large as you,
13 You are not so small as I
14 And not half so spry6.
15 I’ll not deny you make
16 A very pretty squirrel track7.
17 Talents differ: all is well and wisely put;
18 If I cannot carry forests on my back,
19 Neither can you crack a nut.”
1
(noun) a small animal with a long thick tail and red, grey or black fur. Squirrels eat
nuts and live in trees.

4
a region that surrounds a planet, especially the earth:

6
energetic, lively, active, swift
7
a line or route along which something travels or moves;

Notes:

1. former refers to the mountain


2. latter refers to the squirrel
3. The mountain called the squirrel Little Prig because squirrels steal or “squirrels
away”
nuts and other food that they can eat later.
4. Lines 5-9 may mean that the squirrel describes the mountain as very enormous
but it
is not powerful enough to create what God has created like time and space.

5. The theme of the story is found in line 17 and elaborated in lines 18 to 19.
Paraphrase it.

WINNING OVER INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES


(Persuasive Essay)
Reading Text
“I was challenged by a professor before in a marketing class. He said: How can
you sell your product- which is ice cream, by the way- in Baguio... during freezing
point6 in December?” Then I froze. That was a challenge, right? How can you sell a
freezing product during a freezing season? I had to answer that question before I got
a failing mark for the recitation. My scholarship was at risk.
After a minute or two of thinking... and freezing, I had finally answered it and
got a perfect score. My scholarship was saved. Actually, I learned from my answer. I
was also surprised by it. And even these days, I still apply what I’ve learned from my
own adrenaline rush and use that technique in my marketing strategies. Challenges
must not break us, they must make us. We learn from obstacles and it make us
smarter, braver and better. It must be an opportunity to grow and be wiser.
So don’t be afraid of these challenges. Face them and accept your fate. The
metamorphosis! You will be a much better version of yourself when you face and solve
these challenges. It’s scary, yes, it is. But if you will allow yourself to have a pair of
frozen feet, what will be your progress? Let the metamorphosis turn you into a butterfly.
Still curious about my answer to my prof? I said... “I will build a warm, coziest place in
the city with such magnificent fireplace for them to enjoy the ambiance and taste my
yummy ice creams.” Now, I’m going to open an ice cream house at Baguio.

Appendix H: Week 6, Day 1
The Beggar
He had seen better days, despite his present misery and infirmities.
At the age of fifteen both his legs had been crushed by a carriage on the Varville
highway. From that time forth he begged, dragging himself along the roads and through
the farmyards, supported by crutches which forced his shoulders up to his ears. His
head looked as if it were squeezed in between two mountains.
A foundling, picked up out of a ditch by the priest of Les Billettes on the eve of
All Saints' Day and baptized, for that reason, Nicholas Toussaint, reared by charity,
utterly without education, crippled in consequence of having drunk several glasses of
brandy given him by the baker (such a funny story!) and a vagabond all his life
afterward--the only thing he knew how to do was to hold out his hand for alms.
At one time the Baroness d'Avary allowed him to sleep in a kind of recess
spread with straw, close to the poultry yard in the farm adjoining the chateau, and if he
was in great need he was sure of getting a glass of cider and a crust of bread in the
kitchen. Moreover, the old lady often threw him a few pennies from her window.
But she was dead now.
In the villages people gave him scarcely anything--he was too well known.
Everybody had grown tired of seeing him, day after day for forty years, dragging his
deformed and tattered person from door to door on his wooden crutches. But he could
not make up his mind to go elsewhere, because he knew no place on earth but this
particular corner of the country, these three or four villages where he had spent the
whole of his miserable existence. He had limited his begging operations and would not
for worlds have passed his accustomed bounds.
He did not even know whether the world extended for any distance beyond the
trees which had always bounded his vision. He did not ask himself the question. And
when the peasants, tired of constantly meeting him in their fields or along their lanes,
exclaimed: "Why don't you go to other villages instead of always limping about here?"
he did not answer, but slunk away, possessed with a vague dread of the unknown--
the dread of a poor wretch who fears confusedly a thousand things--new faces, taunts,
insults, the suspicious glances of people who do not know him and the policemen
walking in couples on the roads. These last he always instinctively avoided, taking
refuge in the bushes or behind heaps of stones when he saw them coming.
When he perceived them in the distance, 'With uniforms gleaming in the sun,
he was suddenly possessed with unwonted agility--the agility of a wild animal seeking
its lair. He threw aside his crutches, fell to the ground like a limp rag, made himself as
small as possible and crouched like a bare under cover, his tattered vestments
blending in hue with the earth on which he cowered.
He had never had any trouble with the police, but the instinct to avoid them was
in his blood. He seemed to have inherited it from the parents he had never known.
He had no refuge, no roof for his head, no shelter of any kind. In summer he
slept out of doors and in winter he showed remarkable skill in slipping unperceived into
barns and stables. He always decamped before his presence could be discovered. He
knew all the holes through which one could creep into farm buildings, and the handling
of his crutches having made his arms surprisingly muscular he often hauled himself up

213
through sheer strength of wrist into hay-lofts, where he sometimes remained for four
or five days at a time, provided he had collected a sufficient store of food beforehand.
He lived like the beasts of the field. He was in the midst of men, yet knew no
one, loved no one, exciting in the breasts of the peasants only a sort of careless
contempt and smoldering hostility. They nicknamed him "Bell," because he hung
between his two crutches like a church bell between its supports.
For two days he had eaten nothing. No one gave him anything now. Every
one's patience was exhausted. Women shouted to him from their doorsteps when they
saw him coming:
"Be off with you, you good-for-nothing vagabond! Why, I gave you a piece of
bread only three days ago!
And he turned on his crutches to the next house, where he was received in the
same fashion.
The women declared to one another as they stood at their doors:
"We can't feed that lazy brute all the year round!"
And yet the "lazy brute" needed food every day.
He had exhausted Saint-Hilaire, Varville and Les Billettes without getting a
single copper or so much as a dry crust. His only hope was in Tournolles, but to reach
this place he would have to walk five miles along the highroad, and he felt so weary
that he could hardly drag himself another yard. His stomach and his pocket were
equally empty, but he started on his way.
It was December and a cold wind blew over the fields and whistled through the
bare branches of the trees; the clouds careered madly across the black, threatening
sky. The cripple dragged himself slowly along, raising one crutch after the other with a
painful effort, propping himself on the one distorted leg which remained to him.
Now and then he sat down beside a ditch for a few moments' rest. Hunger was
gnawing his vitals, and in his confused, slow-working mind he had only one idea-to
eat-but how this was to be accomplished he did not know. For three hours he continued
his painful journey. Then at last the sight of the trees of the village inspired him with
new energy.
The first peasant he met, and of whom he asked alms, replied:
"So it's you again, is it, you old scamp? Shall I never be rid of you?"
And "Bell" went on his way. At every door he got nothing but hard words. He
made the round of the whole village, but received not a halfpenny for his pains.
Then he visited the neighboring farms, toiling through the muddy land, so
exhausted that he could hardly raise his crutches from the ground. He met with the
same reception everywhere. It was one of those cold, bleak days, when the heart is
frozen and the temper irritable, and hands do not open either to give money or food.
When he had visited all the houses he knew, "Bell" sank down in the corner of
a ditch running across Chiquet's farmyard. Letting his crutches slip to the ground, he
remained motionless, tortured by hunger, but hardly intelligent enough to realize to the
full his unutterable misery.

214
He awaited he knew not what, possessed with that vague hope which persists
in the human heart in spite of everything. He awaited in the corner of the farmyard in
the biting December wind, some mysterious aid from Heaven or from men, without the
least idea whence it was to arrive. A number of black hens ran hither and thither,
seeking their food in the earth which supports all living things. Ever now and then they
snapped up in their beaks a grain of corn or a tiny insect; then they continued their
slow, sure search for nutriment.
"Bell" watched them at first without thinking of anything. Then a thought
occurred rather to his stomach than to his mind--the thought that one of those fowls
would be good to eat if it were cooked over a fire of dead wood.
He did not reflect that he was going to commit a theft. He took up a stone which
lay within reach, and, being of skillful aim, killed at the first shot the fowl nearest to him.
The bird fell on its side, flapping its wings. The others fled wildly hither and thither, and
"Bell," picking up his crutches, limped across to where his victim lay.
Just as he reached the little black body with its crimsoned head he received a
violent blow in his back which made him let go his hold of his crutches and sent him
flying ten paces distant. And Farmer Chiquet, beside himself with rage, cuffed and
kicked the marauder with all the fury of a plundered peasant as "Bell" lay defenceless
before him.
The farm hands came up also and joined their master in cuffing the lame
beggar. Then when they were tired of beating him they carried him off and shut him up
in the woodshed, while they went to fetch the police.
"Bell," half dead, bleeding and perishing with hunger, lay on the floor. Evening
came--then night--then dawn. And still he had not eaten.
About midday the police arrived. They opened the door of the woodshed with
the utmost precaution, fearing resistance on the beggar's part, for Farmer Chiquet
asserted that he had been attacked by him and had had great, difficulty in defending
himself.
The sergeant cried:
"Come, get up!"
But "Bell" could not move. He did his best to raise himself on his crutches, but
without success. The police, thinking his weakness feigned, pulled him up by main
force and set him between the crutches.
Fear seized him--his native fear of a uniform, the fear of the game in presence
of the sportsman, the fear of a mouse for a cat-and by the exercise of almost
superhuman effort he succeeded in remaining upright.

"Forward!" said the sergeant. He walked. All the inmates of the farm watched his
departure. The women shook their fists at him the men scoffed at and insulted him. He
was taken at last! Good riddance! He went off between his two guards. He mustered
sufficient energy--the energy of despair--to drag himself along until the evening, too
dazed to know what was happening to him, too frightened to understand.

215
People whom he met on the road stopped to watch him go by and peasants
muttered:
"It's some thief or other."
Toward evening he reached the country town. He had never been so far before.
He did not realize in the least what he was there for or what was to become of him. All
the terrible and unexpected events of the last two days, all these unfamiliar faces and
houses struck dismay into his heart.
He said not a word, having nothing to say because he understood nothing.
Besides, he had spoken to no one for so many years past that he had almost lost the
use of his tongue, and his thoughts were too indeterminate to be put into words.
He was shut up in the town jail. It did not occur to the police that he might need
food, and he was left alone until the following day. But when in the early morning they
came to examine him he was found dead on the floor. Such an astonishing thing!

Appendix I: Week 6, Day 2
Our Future as narrated by Morgan Freeman (transcription)
One day, we will wake up to find that the energy that powers the alarm clock
came from the breeze to the trees the night before, and we will go to work that morning
riding the rays of the sun. It will light our cities, and power our businesses. It will warm
our homes, and cool our workplaces. It will reduce sources of conflict, and fuel our
economies. It will connect us all. It won’t scar the land or poison the seas. The food we
eat will be good for our bodies, and good for the planet, and the weather that day won’t
make us worry for tomorrow. There will be more jobs and less disease. The sea level
will stop rising and species will stop dying. The question is how we get to that day from
where we are today-- all 7.3 billion of us.
We start by deciding that beyond our doubts and differences, certain day truly
exists, and there is something each of us can do today. We can make today the day
we stop thinking that the changes required to get there are impossible and beyond us;
and start realizing that they are not only possible, but what the future requires us. We
must stop turning from the warnings of science and fear in denial, and instead turn
toward the solutions and partnerships we need. We can make today, the day we stop
pointing at each other in blame and instead chart a new course together. We have
never faced a crisis this big, but we have never had a better opportunity to solve it. We
have everything we need to wake up to a different kind of world. We need our leaders
to be brave and their choices to be bold. They will little remember us as the generation
that destroyed its home, or the one that finally came to respect it. We have every
reason in the world to act. We can’t wait until tomorrow. This is our only home. You
can choose today to make a world of difference.

Appendix J.1: Week 6, Day 3

Climate change is real, the actions of mankind are the origin of climate change,
and there is no know way to reverse climate change – we can only hope to slow the
rate of change for the next several thousand years. These basic truths must be
accepted by nations and form the basis for national policy.

Secondly, national policies must accept that climate change is global in its
scope, global in its causes, and global in its mitigation. No one country can resolve the
problem, nor can any country avoid it. If the human civilization is to survive as we know
it, all nations must fully and freely cooperate. The alternative to rapidly developing
means of open international cooperation and assistance is for the nations to turn
themselves into armed fortress to protect their resources and prevent immigration of
displaces climatic refugees. Inevitably, this approach would lead to global warfare and
destruction, and a radically altered environment.

And, thirdly national policies must accept that there is no one solution that will
fit all nations, rather entirely different approaches will be required in different regions
and nations. For example, the developed nations must eliminate their dependence
upon fossil fuels while maintaining their quality of life, while developing nations must
forgo the use of fossil fuels while attempting to meet the natural aspirations of their
citizens for an improved quality of life. It would appear obvious that an international
sharing of resources, technologies and expertise will be required.

Can all nations set aside regional, political, historical, cultural and religious
differences and cooperate in the solution and survival of Global Climate Change? If
not, human civilization is surely toast.

Appendix K.1: Week 6, Day 4

FOR PUNCTUALITY AND RESPECT FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS

Our national pride as a country always dips on layer lower every time foreigners
comment on our hard-to-break habit: coming late. This shortcoming among our
countrymen has so acquired quite a prevalence that an unflattering phrase was coined
that has actually indicted the entire Filipino race: “Filipino time.”

Lack of punctuality has become a serious national concern because it is the


only malady that has been unfortunately attached to the name “Filipino”. No other
offense or weakness is uniquely identified with “Filipino,” an otherwise badge of honor
for everyone. The entire Filipino nation is embarrassed every time this phrase drips
from the lips of foreigners and compatriots.

In deeper sense, coming to an appointment late is a disrespect for the time of


others. In a profound sense, therefore, this national weakness is ingrained in a lack of
respect for the rights of others. A casual look at the day-to-day anarchy in the streets
and our disregard of traffic rules shows the ease with which we set aside the rights of
others. All these indicate that, as a people and as a country, something has got change
– and the first step should be taken to effect that change.

The ironic thing about this situation is that some of our countrymen reinforce
this perception either by boasting about it or by proving people right by really being
tardy in their appointments. Something even more perverse has developed: It has
become fashionable or, as they say, “politically correct,” to be late or to be indifferent
about the rights of others. Something has really turned upside down – when right
becomes wrong and wrong becomes right.

Appendix L: Week 7, Day 1

AN EXCERPT FROM THE ARTICLE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON


AGRICULTURE

Climate change is likely to contribute substantially to food insecurity in the


future, by increasing food prices, and reducing food production. Food may become
more expensive as climate change mitigation efforts increase energy prices. Water
required for food production may become scarce due to increased crop water use and
drought. Competition for land may increase as certain areas become climatically
unsuitable for production. In addition, extreme weather events, associated with climate
change may cause sudden reductions in agricultural productivity, leading to rapid price
increases. For example, heat waves in the summer of 2010 led to yield losses in key
production areas including: Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and contributed to a
dramatic increase in the price of staple foods. These rising prices forced growing
numbers of local people into poverty, providing a sobering demonstration of how the
influence of climate change can result in food insecurity.

The consensus of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) is


that substantial climate change has already occurred since the 1950s, and that it’s
likely the global mean surface air temperature will increase by 0.4 to 2.6°C in the
second half of this century (depending on future greenhouse gas emissions).
Agriculture, and the wider food production system, is already a major source of
greenhouse gas emissions. Future intensification of agriculture to compensate for
reduced production (partly caused by climate change) alongside an increasing
demand for animal products, could further increase these emissions. It’s estimated that
the demand for livestock products will grow by +70% between 2005 and 2050.

While gradual increases in temperature and carbon dioxide may result in more
favorable conditions that could increase the yields of some crops, in some regions,
these potential yield increases are likely to be restricted by extreme events, particularly
extreme heat and drought, during crop flowering. Crop production is projected to
decrease in many areas during the 21st century because of climatic changes. This is
illustrated in figure 1 which summarizes average crop yield projections across all
emission scenarios, regions, and with- or without- adaptation by farmers, showing an
increasing trend towards widespread yield decreases.

222
Heat waves (periods of extreme high temperature) are likely to become more
frequent in the future and represent a major challenge for agriculture. Heat waves can
cause heat stress in both animals and plants and have a negative impact on food
production. Extreme periods of high temperature are particularly harmful for crop
production if they occur when the plants are flowering – if this single, critical stage is
disrupted, there may be no seeds at all. In animals, heat stress can result in lower
productivity and fertility, and it can also have negative effects on the immune system,
making them more prone to certain diseases.

Evidence for an increase in heat waves exists from warming that has already
occurred, and greater than expected increases in heat wave frequency and magnitude
(figure 3). It is difficult to make accurate predictions about the future frequency and
magnitude of heat waves, but there is consensus among projections that
measurements for both will continue to increase in the UK, in Europe, and at a global
scale. The impact of heat waves are expected to be non-uniform, with
disproportionately negative effects in less developed countries. Together with other
aspects of climate change such as increased drought incidence, they may exacerbate
existing issues around food security. (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/climate-

The Verdict (1982)

closing argument to win the un-winnable case. Watch this
great movie speech here

TRANSCRIPT:

“Well…You know, so much of the time we’re just lost. We say, “Please, God, tell us
what is right. Tell us what is true.”

I mean there is no justice. The rich win; the poor are powerless. We become tired of
hearing people lie. And after a time we become dead, a little dead. We think of
ourselves as victims — and we become victims. We become weak; we doubt
ourselves; we doubt our beliefs; we doubt our institutions; and we doubt the law.

But today you are the law. You are the law, not some book, not the lawyers, not a
marble statue, or the trappings of the court. See, those are just symbols of our desire
to be just. They are, in fact, a prayer, I mean a fervent and a frightened prayer.
In my religion, they say, “Act as if you had faith; faith will be given to you.”
If we are to have faith in justice we need only to believe in ourselves and act with
justice. See, I believe there is justice in our hearts.”

TRANSCRIPT:
“How many of you know the 16 words in President Bush’s State of the Union
Address that led us to war? (none) How many know my wife’s name? (everyone).

How can you know one, and not the other? When did the question move from ‘Why
are we going to war?’ to ‘Who is this man’s wife?’
I asked the first question, and somebody else asked the second. And it worked.
Because none of us know the truth. The offence that was committed was not
committed against me, it was not committed against my wife – it was committed against
you. All of you.

If that makes you angry or feel misrepresented, do something about it.


When Benjamin Franklin left Independence Hall, just after the second draft of it, he
was approached by a woman on the street, the woman said, ‘Mr Franklin, what manner
of government have you bequeathed us? And Franklin said, ‘A Republic madam… if
you can keep it.’

The responsibility of a country is not in the hands of a privileged few. We are strong
and we are free from tyranny as long as each one of us remembers his or her duty as
a citizen. Whether it’s to report a pothole at the top of your street, or lies in a State of
The Union Address, speak out! Ask those questions. Demand that truth. Democracy
is not a free ride man, I’m here to tell you.

But this is where we live. And if we do our job, this is where our children will live. God

HANDOUTS FOR DISTRIBUTION


RHETORICAL APPEALS: LOGOS, PATHOS, ETHOS
5. A speaker usually uses rhetoric during his/her speech. Rhetoric is the art or skill
of speaking or writing formally and effectively to persuade people.
6. A speaker uses this art to convince his/her audience or listeners to believe in
his/her ideas and to bring them to action, if needed.
7. The speaker use words, expressions and sentences that appeal to the people’s
reasons, feelings and the speaker’s credibility.
8. To persuade his/her audience, he may use the three common strategies, which
was introduced by Aristotle and has been in use for more than 2,300 years.
Aristotle called these speech strategies as logos, pathos, and ethos.
9. Logos (also known as appeal to reason and logic) is the strategy where the
speaker uses the mind and intellect of the listeners to prove his/her points. The
speaker may use the following to express his/her ideas and persuade to the
audience:
a. Definition of terms
b. Explanation of ideas
c. Comparison and contrast
d. Facts and statistics
e. Cause-effect relationships
f. Objective reports
g. If-then statements
h. Inductive reasoning
i. Deductive reasoning
j. Case studies
6. Pathos (also known as appeal to emotion) is the strategy where the speaker uses
the feelings of his/her audience to persuade the listeners. He may use the
following:
I. Stories or testimonies from real people
II. Powerful expressions and images that can arouse emotive responses
III. Audiences’ beliefs, experiences, dreams and ideals
IV. Connotative language
V. Audiences’ religiousness and traditions
7. Ethos (also known as appeal to the speakers’ credibility) is a strategy where the
speaker tries to win the trust of his/her audience with his/her character, authority and
integrity. Thus, the speaker may use the following:
VI. his/her own qualifications and significant life information
VII. his/her experiences and expertise in the subject
VIII. jargon/authoritative language (language of his/her profession,
affiliation)
IX. appropriate tone (by knowing the listeners and the context situation)
X. credible sources (experts, scholars) to emphasize his/her own
XI. credibility
8. These three strategies may be combined but one strategy may be used to prevail
in the speech depending on the topic and speaker’s choice.

9. The speakers should use these strategies with care and good intention. They
should not be used (especially the pathos) to divert the real issue or confuse the
audience.

Appendix N: Week 8, Day1

TWO IN ONE

Throughout high school I chose to ignore my Filipino side. The most important
thing for me was to fit in – wear the latest clothes, listen to the coolest music, speak the
slang spoken between friends. If anyone asked me my ethnic background, I
emphasized that I was half-white, leaving out that I was half-Filipino. If prodded any
further, I said that my mother was born in the Philippines, but that she was definitely
mixed with Spanish blood. Somehow I had come to the conclusion that to be American
meant I should exclude my Filipino heritage. To include it also might mean I wouldn’t fit
in with my teenager – I had never been to the Philippines, I spoke only English, and I
practiced no Filipino customs.

Since I came to college I have been exploring the Filipino culture more as part of
my family history than as my own culture. This is a step toward true recognition of my
Filipino identity. Though I have been raised in America and have lived the “American”
culture, this doesn’t mean I should deny that I am also a Filipino. My Filipino heritage
has a claim on me that has been waiting to be explored further – waiting to include me
- and I in it. Growing up as mixed Asian and American has made me aware that it isn’t
necessary for me to be 100% American. Now, as I begin to study Filipino history and
culture through research and from my mother, I integrate this new knowledge with my
American culture. This process of integration bridges the two identities that make who
I am. Now I no longer say I am all American or all Filipino, instead I can proudly say
that I am both.

Transcriptions of the Speech of Ramona J. Smith


2018 Toastmaster Champion
Still Standing
Life will sometimes feel like a fight. The punches, jabs, hooks will come in the form of
challenges obstacles and failures. Yet, if you stay in the ring and learn from those past
fights at the end of each round, you'll be still standing.

Mr. Contest chair, fellow fighters, can you think of a time when life tried to knock you
down? Who was your toughest opponent? Most often, our most challenging opponent
is ourselves.

Round one, college. I dropped out of college, not one, not two, not three, but four times.
I told myself college isn't for me and I would never go back.

Round two, marriage. I married my soul mate, the love of my life, my best friend. He
was fine too. We were married for eight long beautiful amazing months. You heard right.
Months not years. It was like immediately after we said I do, the heavyweight champion
came in and delivered an electrifying knockout blow to our vows. Boom! Divorced.

Round three, speaking. In 2015 I competed for the first time in the International speech
contest. I won at the club level. I won at the area level. I wanted the division level. There
the district level is on the way. I was on the road. I was on fire. I was unstoppable.

I lost. I was crushed. After going three rounds and taking hit after hit I was ready to
throw in the time. I was down for the count, six, seven, eight. When was the last time
life not you down? Who was that lifeline that you reached out to, to help you stand back
up? Was it your family? Your friends? Or did you hold on to your faith?

Maybe you've never been knocked down. But you've seen one of your family members
take a devastating blow. Were you the lifeline that they were reaching out to, to help
them stand back up. Were you the coach in the corner, saying, “Get up! Get up! Stand
up!”

As I gathered all the strength within myself. Stand. Instead of looking into a mirror of
defeat, it became a window of possibilities. I got back in the rack. I went back to college.
I got my degree and I graduated magna laude.

Yeah, after failing four times, I was still standing. After my loss at the district level, I'm
speaking to you from the world championship stage. It's a moment. Thank you. Even
after suffering loss, I'm still standing. Ask for my marriage, I'm still in training.

I have not yet found Mr. Right. But this is an international convention and there are
thousands of men from hundreds of different countries so single Toastmasters. Even
after my divorce, I'm still standing. My challenge to you is to stay in the ring, whether
you're a fighter or a coach. If you're on the side of the ring coaching or if you're in that
ring throwing those jabs and those hooks when that final bell rings “Bing Bing Bing” the
fighters and the coaches will raise their hands with victory singing “I'm still standing
yeah yeah yeah. We're still standing. Very nice. Stay in that ring and even after you
take a few hits use what you learn from those previous fights and at the end of each
round you'll remain still standing Mr. contest.

Appendix P.1: Week 9, Day 4

Why We Should Not Compare Ourselves with Others

In our culture a lot of times people advise us to compare ourselves with others.
"You should be like your father," "You can win; the others aren’t as good as you," "You
must be the best of your class," etc., and this is not always the best way of thinking.
There are many reasons to change this way of thinking and begin to compare ourselves
only with ourselves. This is the way it should be, and in this paper I will discuss some
of the most important reasons for this.

The first reason to avoid comparing yourself with others is that there will be
always someone better than you. It doesn’t mater in which aspect, but it is always true.
Therefore, you could feel inferior to others and maybe without a real reason. For
example, you can be an incredible architect and the best of your generation, and this
can make you feel incredibly good, but if someday someone is better than you are, you
could feel sad although you are still the same incredible architect that you were before.

The second reason to elude this kind of comparison is that you will always find
someone worse than you, but as opposed to the first reason, this can make you feel
better than the others, and this feeling can turn into a horrible pride. For example, if you
are the second best student of your class, and one day the very best student leaves
the school, you will then be the best one although you are still only as good as you were
before.

These two first reasons lead us to a third one: If you want to be better than the
others, you don’t need to improve yourself; you only have to make the others look bad.
If I want to be the leader of the group, but you are the leader now, what I need to do is
to make you look like a traitor or stupid and then I can take your place. Then I will be
better than you.

A fourth reason to stop comparing ourselves is that the one who compares
him/herself with others is judging, and this doesn’t help us develop as human beings.
Nobody knows the internal reality of the other; nobody knows his/her story and his/her
most deep intentions, and when we judge it’s harder to accept the others.

The last but most important reason to avoid comparing ourselves with others is
that when we do, we can be tempted to copy them, to do the same things, and to act
and think like them. The problem with this is that if we copy someone, we will never
know who we really are and what we really want, and then we will never grow spiritually.

For all these reasons and because we are unique, we should not compare
ourselves with others, only with ourselves. The only comparison pattern that we really
have is our consciousness. So, if we use this pattern we will not feel less or more than
others; we will not try to make others look bad; we will not judge so much; and we will
accept ourselves as we really are. In other words, we will live happier.

Appendix P.2: Week 9, Day 4

Why Students Should Eat Breakfast Every Day

A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having
breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have
time for that, and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat
breakfast before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the
importance of breakfast, especially for students.

The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your
health. When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease
because it’s not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s very important to
have a meal and not let your stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis
and a lot of problems with your health if you don’t eat breakfast.

Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in
your classes. You body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could
because you have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and
have nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. A lot
of people think that they should not eat because they are going to feel tired, but that’s
not true. Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the contrary, you’re going to feel tired
if you don’t have breakfast because you have spent the entire previous night without
food.

The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases
if you eat some breakfast in the morning. If you don’t eat, you are going to get sick, and
these diseases will have a stronger effect on you because you’re going to get sick
easier than people who have breakfast every day.

You have to realize that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and
you cannot skip it without consequences for your health, your school and your defense
mechanism. It is better to wake up earlier and have a good breakfast that run to school
without eating anything. It is time for you to do something for your health, and eating
breakfast is the better way to start your day.

Appendix P.3: Week 9, Day 4

The Importance of Reading and Writing

Today science and technology has come to pervade every aspect of our lives.
Computer, television and radio have almost replaced the newspaper and letter once
dominated our lives. Accordingly, the issue about whether the ability to read and write
is more important today may attract our attentions. It is clear that classified views have
converged into two: some think reading and writing ability is more important today than
in the past, while others deny its importance. As I see it, I agree with the former view
without any hesitation and my choice is based on a careful consideration of the
following reasons.

The main reason which may win most of people's support is that if lack the
reading and writing ability, one would be considered as illiterate who has been deprived
of the most basic right of human beings in the 21st century. It will be hard for us to
imagine how somebody who can't read and write communicates with other people. A
case in point is that one of my neighbors who is an old man and cannot read and write
may only talk with others face to face. As for making friends by email and search
information in newspaper, it is absolutely impossible.

The second reason I would like to point out is that people today who cannot
read and write cannot even make a living. Good jobs are difficult to find because of
economic depression. Nearly all the jobs require people who can read and write very
well. Even if one just plans to be a driver, he must read the road sign and know where
he is and where he will go.

Furthermore, the ability to read and write could bring us lots of advantages.
Suppose that people who have tired out with a hard week's sweat and effort may get
lots of benefits and relief from reading a short novel and broaden his horizon by
appreciating a nice poem. Many friends around me would believe reading and writing
some effective ways to relax themselves.

People today especially those children may find it easier for them to manipulate
the mouse of the computer than to write things down by hand. Watching TV instead of
reading may still occupy someone's most leisure time. Yet if all the factors I discussed
above are contemplated and we are to minimize the losses and maximize the gains, it
will not be hard for us to realize that the ability to read and write is more important today
than in the past.

Appendix P.4: Week 9, Day 4

Why You Should Not Smoke

I am sure that you know that smoking harms your body. Then why do you
continue smoking? Maybe you do it because you haven’t really become conscious
about all the effects that smoking has. There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t
smoke. Some of them are that smoking affects your health, that you spend a lot of
money on cigarettes, and that when you smoke you are not respecting people around
you.

The first reason why you shouldn’t smoke is that smoking affects your health. If
you smoke, your physical condition will be negatively affected, so it will be very
difficult for you to succeed in sports. Also, smoking produces lethal diseases like cancer
and reduces the length and quality of your life. Maybe you don’t notice all the physical
effects of smoking immediately, but you surely will be sorry one day.

The second reason why you shouldn’t smoke is because of all the money that
you spend on it. Maybe you start smoking only when someone offers you a cigarette,
but there will be a day when you will feel the need of a cigarette. By this time, you will
pay whatever to smoke, and each time you will smoke more, so you will spend more
money. All the money you would spend on cigars could have be spent in something
better, don’t you think?

The last reason why you shouldn’t smoke is out of respect for the people around
you. When you smoke, you not only harm yourself, but you also harm all the people
around you. So you mustn’t be selfish; you should at least avoid smoking in front of
people who don’t smoke. Also, many people don’t like the cigarette’s smell, so they
won’t enjoy your company. Would you like that?

I have said just some reasons of why you shouldn’t smoke, so I hope that now
those of you who smoke are able to think a little and try to make a smart decision. In
addition to all the reasons I’ve said, I would like you to think about how much you love
yourself and then whether you want to continue harming yourself. Think also about all
the people who love you, like your family who doesn’t want to see you suffering or sick.
If you decide to continue smoking, what a pity. But if you decide to stop smoking,
congratulations! Remember that "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Appendix P.5: Week 9, Day 4

Why People Should Read for Pleasure

In the past years the use of the television and the internet has increased; this
situation has caused many people to change their likes and the way that they enjoy
their free time. Because of television and the internet, many people spend less time
reading, so the purpose for this essay is to present reasons why people should read
just for pleasure. The reasons that I give you are quite simple: to improve your
knowledge, to expand your general culture, to have more fun, to make your imagination
fly, to find new ways to express your ideas, and finally to expand your vocabulary.

The first reason that I give you to enjoy reading is that when you read, you can
expand your knowledge and also your culture. There are a lot of good books in which
you can find history, novels, tragedies, comedies and a variety of other themes. You
can see that people who read more often frequently have a bigger knowledge of life
and also a bigger perspective of their environment. I think that fact gives them an
advantage over all others who do not read frequently.

The second reason to read more often is that through books you can have fun
and even travel in your imagination. Children have not yet lost the ability of getting
into their dreams, and because of this, in their first years the parents read a lot of tales
in which they use their imagination. Adults should try to keep this ability, so we do not
forget the importance of the use of the imagination. The imagination also represents a
tool that could help you to develop your professional career in a creative way.

Finally, the third and the most important feature that reading offers you is that it
does not matter the age that you have, you always could expand your vocabulary and
the ways to express your ideas to the others in a simple and correct form. By the time
you can improve the kind of books that you read, there are a lot of categories, so you
will never stop learning from the pleasure of reading. People who know how to choose
a book generally have the capability of choosing a formal book in which they can find
formal grammatical structures and obviously a formal vocabulary. All these things allow
them to gain greater fluency in their communication.

In conclusion, I recommend that you enjoy reading more often. There are
excellent reasons for doing it; you just have to want to expand your knowledge and your
culture, to improve your imagination and also your vocabulary. I know that we should
evolve with the technology; that is, it is good to know how to navigate in the internet,
but we must also not forget the books. Try to choose good books at the beginning, and
then I ensure you that you never will stop reading.

Appendix P.6: Week 9, Day 4

Why People Should Exercise

In the past, I have never been inclined to participate in sports. Honestly, I didn’t
like it, but many persons whom I lived with kept telling me everyday how good it was.
Since the peer pressure was growing, I decided to go to the gym. It wasn’t until then
that I could really understand people when they said exercise really helped a person
get organized and keep yourself in a healthy physically and mentally.

For starters, when you are a lazy person, it is difficult to take the first step, but
it is all a matter of committing yourself to something that will provide you a lot of
positive feedback. Once you start doing exercise and observing positive results, you
actually enjoy it. It takes a lot of effort and strong will, but it's worth it. The principal
thing to do is to participate in an activity you like. If you do you’ll start organizing your
day in a way that enables you to do everything you have to, including exercising. You
will no longer be a person stressed-out without time to carry on with all your activities.

Second, it is obvious that once you exercise you will have a better condition.
You will be healthier in a physical way. It is probable that you will lose weight and your
muscles will get stronger and stronger. Your body will feel good, full of energy and it
will respond immediately to any action you want to do, any activity that has to be done
with high spirits.

The third reason why exercising is good is that it affects you positively in a
mental and psychological way. Doing exercise helps you set specific goals which along
with strong will can be achieved. When you do that, you are aware of your abilities,
accept your weaknesses, and your self-esteem goes up. Any sport distracts you
because it helps you not to think about school, friends, problems, among other things.
It brings you time to think about yourself and no one else. It helps you keep your mind
busy and to avoid dangerous habits like drugs.

Doing exercise is very important to any person of any age. The positive effects
of exercising, which I’ve already mentioned, are like a chain. Once you do a sports
activity that you like, you get organized; therefore, you start doing things the right way
and get enormous benefits which make you feel good as a whole human being. You
start living your life happily

Appendix P.7: Week 9, Day 4

Why You Should Communicate Effectively

Establishing and developing effective communication is important in order to be


heard and change your environment according to your own thoughts. No one will guess
what you want or what you think if you don’t tell them, and nothing is going to change
if you do not propose a change. The purpose of this essay is to discuss four important
skills that will help you communicate effectively. Such skills are not to be afraid of
speaking, always defend what you want to say, express exactly what you mean to say,
and listen while you are not speaking.

The first aspect to communicate effectively is not to be afraid of speaking.


Anytime you need to say something, go ahead and do it. Most of the times people are
afraid of speaking because they are not sure if it is the right thing to say and/or the right
moment to say it. Be sure, say what you want to say, and do not regret it. If you speak
you will be heard and taken into account. You are important so you need to be heard.

There is one thing you should not do somehow: Do not say something that will
hurt somebody’s feelings. Unless that something has to be said inevitably, say it, but
as softly and gently as you can. Never hurt anyone intentionally. Always think twice
before saying something. You choose what to say, just be sure to say the right thing at
the right time. If you do that, you won’t regret a thing.

Second, if you want to communicate effectively, defend what you say. Once you
have said something you can never go backward; you must back it up. The worst thing
that you can do when speaking is to hesitate. Hesitance means self-insecurity and this
means weakness. The strength of your words will surely determine their effect on the
listener. The way that you speak and the content of your speech tell a lot about yourself
and your personality. A conversation allows speakers and listeners to get to know each
other better. Besides, people will only know what you say; they cannot go any further if
you do not let them. It is only by means of intelligence, strength, and security that you
will be able to change the world around you. And, it is also by means of intelligence,
strength, and security that you will be heard and taken into account.

The third main aspect of effective communication is to express exactly what you
mean to say. Pick up the words that will express exactly what you are thinking of. Do
not forget that one half of a word belongs to the listener and the other to the speaker.
The listener gets his or her own version of what is said. However your job is to express
yourself clearly, so that you can avoid misunderstandings. Although, avoiding
misunderstandings is a hard task (not impossible), when it is achieved you will be
expressing yourself effectively. Everybody will be able to identify exactly what you say,
what you think, and what you want. Words are double edged weapons which can be
used either to defend or to attack. If you make a good use of them, you will be able to
do almost everything.

The fourth main point to effective communication, and probably the most
important of all, is the listening part. Listen and do not interrupt when it is no longer
your turn to speak. You will surely learn new things from listening to others. If a person
is speaking, it’s because she or he wants to be heard. Effective communication is based
on both listening and speaking. If communication were based only on speaking, it would
be an absolute tyranny. Nevertheless, communication is the means through which you
express yourself in order to be heard and change your environment according to your

237
own version of reality. Thus, it would be impossible to change anything if there were no
one to listen, learn, and accept new ideas. Listening is a gift, and good listeners are
always very appreciated because there are only a few.

Effective communication will help you to express yourself better, allow you to
let other people express themselves, and help you to change your environment toward
your own thoughts and beliefs. Words inspire no fear. Speak them. Words make you
strong. Support them. Words show what you are and what you think. Do not let yourself
be misunderstood. Words are valuable. Listen to them!
